Nope. They're just prices. And they were all the fault of the people present in the market, nothing else. Anyone who's been here since before this particular bubble sat back and watched the same old thing play out again. It was boring but not scary in any way.

What I got from watching the recent hearings is an awareness that too much heaviness could drive crypto away into the arms of a more willing country. If America is conscious of losing their dollar hegemony they're also conscious that remaining a world capital of crypto is more of a benefit than the alternative.
